The Johanna Brandt Grape Diet

Johanna Brandt (b. 18 Nov 1876 in Heidelberg / Transvaal d. 13 Jan 1964 in Nuweland) was a
naturopath from South Africa who claimed that, "The grape is highly antiseptic and a powerful solvent

of inorganic matter deposits, fatty degeneration, morbid

and malignant growths. It acts as a drastic eliminator of evil
while building new tissue."
She believed that it was such a powerful "builder" that a
patient could gain eight pounds in only two days. Brandt
further claimed that "abnormal growths, cancers, tumours,
ulcers, abscesses, and fibrous masses seem to be
dissolved by the powerful chemical agent in the grape."
(Picture right - Johanna Brandt)
She also stated that "the secret of the Grape Cure in
wasting diseases is to be found in the rich proteid supplied
by the grape," that grapes are "the most magnetic food,"
and that every tendril of the grape is "a living receiver of
cosmic magnetism."
The Brandt Method
The Brandt method has five phases:
1) Fasting for two or three days, during which only
cold water is consumed.
A daily enema is also given to flush out excreted toxins.
2) After the fast, a diet of only grapes is followed for one to two weeks.
One to three ounces of grapes are eaten every two hours during the day (seven meals a day).
Water can be drunk as needed.
3) Fresh fruits, tomatoes, and sour milk or cottage cheese are then added to the diet.
4) A variety of raw foods are then introduced.
5) A mixed diet is then begun, which consists of one kind of fruit each day for breakfast, a
cooked lunch, and a salad for supper.
--()-Brandt noted that unsweetened grape juice may be substituted for grapes and, in the very weak
patients.
Where fresh grapes are not obtainable, unsulfured raisins may be added to the grape juice to give
bulk to the diet.
For the treatment of external cancers, Brandt recommended grape poultices or grape juice
compresses.
Depending on the site of the cancer, grape juice gargles, enemas or douches may also be used.
In Brandt's day, the diet was also administered by "drugless practitioners" and at health spas.
(Some authorities believe that Brandt's grape cure is worthless).
